Assignments for May 19 to May 23

In class today I returned your economy quiz - if you had not gotten it back - and your GA calendar.  I have entered all grades into I Parent.  You may want to check your grade before tomorrow when it is closed out.  In class today, I gave out an index card (your security blanket) for you to take notes on to take into your final exam.  PLEASE put your name on the card.  I will not see classes regularly again until Thursday afternoon with the exception of the Class 3 study period.  If you have any questions, please come by and see me so we can get that cleared up.  Remember, your exam is Thursday morning.  Bring your card with you!
